Eldrimner Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) I'm on a server with lots of Vanguards and PTs and I like to 1vs1 them in wzs from time to time. The once in "just" BM gear are soft and mostly just die to me(in 1vs1). When going up against the Vanguards/PTs with equal gear it mostly comes down too who crits the most/highest and buffs/cc on cds. There really arn't many surprises with most having the same spec, cell, gear and rotation. A few days ago i ran into a PT pyro. I saw he did nice damage and had over 17k hp so wh/pve gear on him at least. So I killed him without wasting any cds while he was trying to kill a healer. Then I ran to spawn to 1vs1 him. Making sure none of us had any help. He didn't really see it comming the first time so I got a full rotation in on him before he really knew what was happening. I didn't use any adrenalins or relics the first time. My HiB was hitting for just under 2k, IP just under 1k, SS about 1.2k and AP just under 2k. His sheild was not up the first time. I went after him a number of times and the biggest hit I got on him with all buffs on me was 3k. He was hitting me for 3-5k. Well mostly he did 3-4k hits and a few 5k with buffs. It feelt like I was hitting a well geared defence specced shadow. He had the same rotation as me more or less. He had CG Cylinder on and TD so he had at least 31 points in the Pyro tree. So the low damage he took had to come from the gear he had on. My marauder Is on another server so I couldn't really go look for him. I'll have to make a level 10 Imp on my server I guess. The guy had found the perfect balance between dps and survivability. Is it a mix between dps/defence gear? Mix of PVE and PVP gear? Anyone know?

Most Likely Full Warhero with a possibility that he has the defensive relic, and most likely his shield was up. He may have the combat Medic 2 piece for the extra 3 sec shield and it could be your connection wasn't picking up his shield. I have had that happen before.

TheronFett Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 He could also be spec'd into Steely Resolve in the Shieldtech tree (Rebraced Armor/Shield Specialist), which boosts armor by 16%. I used to run a similar spec w/ my Powertech, and the difference in defense is quite noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except him having more armor would not change the amount of damage you deal to him as an Assault Vanguard, would it? The damage numbers you are quoting suggest that he had his defensive cooldown up every time he saw you. But you say this is not the case. If I had to guess I would say that he has completed his WH set, and has over 1.3k Expertise. If you're at around 1.1 there will be a marked difference in how much damage you do to him.

Chazcon Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Three questions: What server? What was his name? What is this defensive relic you speak of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
